After 4 weeks with Karen, I can say she has been great for me. She is direct which I prefer, but also understanding and has been able to shed so much light on different things. Some things I was not even aware of!

More about Karen

  • 7 years' experience

  • BACP

I am licensed in the UK with thousands of client hours. I have experience in helping individuals and couples with a wide variety of presenting issues. As an integrative counsellor, I am able to draw from a number of models and interventions to form a treatment plan tailored to each client. My highest value is to develop a safe space where each client can explore areas of difficulty in confidence and without judgment. It takes courage to seek out a stranger, take steps toward change and commit to this counselling process. I am here to support & empower you in that journey.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions. Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.

I find Karen easy to talk to and able to engage with issues promptly and provides good advice

Reviewed March 2024

After my first session with Kanre, I knew we would have a great working relationship. Her presence is calming and supportive. She creates a nurturing environment to express your most honest and authentic self - no matter how vulnerable you feel. I am so thankful I got paired with her as my therapist. She is genuine and honest and shares an enlightening perspective about whatever you may be facing. I cannot recommend her enough.
